Travel Behavior Towards Transit-Oriented Development in Dukuh Atas, DKI Jakarta

Abstract

Increasing resident activity in Jabodetabek has highlighted that increased traffic flow and transportation needs could cause congestion and environmental problems. To address these possible transportation problems, a transitoriented development (TOD) policy is soon to be implemented in Dukuh Atas, Jakarta. Therefore, the research objective was to examine resident travel behavior based on socioeconomic characteristics and land use based on the TOD policy in Dukuh Atas. A model was developed to more closely examine the travel behavior influencing factors in the Dukuh Atas TOD area. Questionnaires were distributed to 300 respondents (150 inhabitants near the transit station and 150 commuters), and the data analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). It was found that the travel behavior in Dukuh Atas TOD was more influenced by socioeconomic status (0.431) than land use in the TOD area (0.251). In general, the income, transportation costs, and educational background variables were found to be the most influential socioeconomic variables. Moreover, respondent travel behavior was not found to be unduly influenced by transit area facilities. Keywords—travel behavior, transit-oriented development, structural equation modeling
